Frame hanger
First Claim
1. A picture frame hanger for use in mounting on a wall a picture frame of the type having an internally facing accessible channel at the frame sections thereof;
- said hanger comprising a block of material having two opposing substantially planar surfaces with sides extending therebetween and, adapted to be secured to a supporting wall or columnar member, said block of material having a projection extending laterally along at least two sides thereof, each forming a lip receivable into said accessible frame channel, for supporting said frame when said block is secured upon said wall, at least one said projection being formed by said block side being bevelled in a direction wherein said block side diverges away from said block surface which is adapted to be secured to said supporting wall.

Abstract
A picture frame hanger according to the invention comprises a block of material, e.g. plastic, metal, or wood, having at least one lateral projection extending along one side thereof, to define a lip receivable into the inwardly-facing groove or channel of a picture frame which is hung thereupon. The said projection may be parallelepiped in form, e.g. of rectangular cross-section and of a thickness less than that of the block; or the projection may comprise a bevelled surface defined at one lateral side of the block, which bevel diverges in the direction opposite the support wall. Preferably the hanger includes both parallelepiped and bevelled projections on alternate edges to enable a wide flexibility in application of the device.

17. A picture frame hanger for use in mounting on a wall a picture frame of the type having an internally facing accessible channel at the frame sections thereof;
- said hanger comprising a block of material having two opposing substantially planar surfaces with sides extending therebetween adapted to be secured to a support wall or columnar member;
said block of material having a projection extending laterally along one side thereof with one surface of said projection extending substantially in the plane of the planar surface of said block opposite to the surface adapted to be secured to a support wall, said projection being formed by said block side being bevelled in a direction wherein said block side diverges away from the block surface adapted to be secured to said support wall, said bevel forming a lip enabling said projection to be received into frames having accessible channels with a variety of dimensions for supporting a frame upon a wall. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
